Sky Watching

 

I am an avid sky watcher. The indigo night sky, when the light pollution is low, surrounds the crystal white twinkling stars. During the day clouds of every shape drift swiftly or slowly depending on the wind. 

There is a time that is not mentioned often for perfect sky watching and that is the early morning. Five in the morning exactly. The moon has already drifted to the west dragging its companions Venus and Mars along.  

As I stick my head out the window the air is breathable, visibility is clear, stars are still bright and the birds are yet asleep.  

Once more, at five in the morning exactly, I am still and calm in majesty of the sky.
